Things to Know! Do Now’s: You will not have bell work, but you will have do now’s daily. Whatever is written on the board is what you should be working on when the bell rings. Consistently not working on the do now’s will result in a refusal to work write-up. Extra Credit Corner: In the corner of the board, the first day of the week, you will have the opportunity for extra credit. It will be due on Friday! No exceptions.
